Towards Net Zero

[Music plays and a split circle appears on the screen and images flash through either half of the circle showing different CSIRO activities and the circle eventually morphs into the CSIRO logo]

Narrator: Around the world, governments, businesses and communities are increasing their efforts to reach net zero emissions.

[Images move through to show animations of cars driving down a highway next to a wind turbine farm, a conveyor belt, and then a busy industrial site, and text appears: Wind power, green steel, carbon capture]

A combination of existing and novel technologies, and the means to rapidly embed them into practice, is necessary to accelerate our net zero goals.

As we continue to decarbonise, Australian businesses, institutes, and communities will need access to practical tools, in order to remain competitive in the global economy.

CSIRO’s Towards Net Zero Mission is focussed on delivering the tools and frameworks to realise the growth opportunities of a low carbon economy.

Developing, demonstrating, and rapidly deploying this technology with industry partners will equip Australia to reduce its emissions while capitalising on our many natural advantages to export technology, low carbon products, carbon offsets, and help our trading partners to reduce global emissions.

By partnering with regions, industry, and government to demonstrate the transition to net zero, the Towards Net Zero Mission can ensure Australia remains prosperous in a low carbon economy.
